Welcome Devam,
Your algo does not execute any trades because your code on lines 54 and 55 are too restrictive. If you put a "#" in front of the logic on those lines you will see that your code will purchase AAPL. Always start with easy criteria so you know your backtest is working and making buy/sells. I usually set a backtest for a week or month at most when doing my changes. Each change I make I run a backtest and see what the impact is before making another change. That way you always know which line has an impact on your outcome. Then every 10 to 20 changes I'll run the backtest for half a year or more.
